Clinton Rallies for the Democrats, but Republicans still take the lead

In a rally in Dallas on Tuesday, Bill Clinton urged Democrats to elect Rick Noriega to the senate so that he could help Obama push a change agenda. 

"Nobody is smart enough to do this alone," Clinton said of Obama, " The supporting cast matters." 

Clinton continued, saying that Noriega would help Obama and Democrats restore jobs, increase energy independence for the country and reform the nation's health care system. 

And Clinton's main reason to vote for Noriega: his involvement in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrna. He helped in Houston's response to the disaster, which was hailed by critics.

Even with all this praise from the Clintons, Noreiga and Obama are behind in the polls in Texas. According to pollster, Cornyn leads with 50.4 percent to Noriega's 42.5 percent. 

When it comes to the presidential election, as McCain falls in the polls nationally, he is maintaining his 12 point lead in Texas. 

"What happens in other states is a whole different situation," saod Marc DelSignore, an Austin-based Republican pollster, "The good news for McCain-Palin here is that Republicans and independents seems to be at high levels of support for the McCain-Paling ticket."
